Fine control of your abilities is to be expected, though since you don't have it on your sheet I see no real harm in adding it in.

Most characters can manipulate their powers in ways not expressly stated on their sheets anyway.

Hadn't really thought about it, I suppose from this point on 3 days of inactivity will be the cut off point. Unless you have a reason for being inactive. After 3 days you can follow up on whatever action you were doing.

The Worth of a Man

With the door closed, Kanitah retook his seat. Reaching into a nearby box and pulling out two bottles of unmarked ale, smuggler ships always have the strongest drink. He popped the tops off of both of them and downed one, sipping on the second one.

The pilot groaned, Kanitah was gonna drink all of his product. He'd better get him to the ground before he finishes off that box. With both hands he pushed down on the wheel, forcing the ship's nose towards the ground. Its engine roared and the ship began a rapid descent towards the ground. In the back, Kanitah accidentally hit himself in the lip with his bottle. The acceleration caused his hand to move on its own.

"Hey! Careful! You nearly made me spill my drink." The war vet growled out through his teeth. Kanitah had been drinking a lot lately, he's been stressing over where his daughter has gone. "Keep this thing steady, I'm already a bit lightheaded and I can feel my stomach in my throat."

Sure, blame the ride. Thought the pilot. It's totally not your profuse drinking, not at all. "Fine, but don ask me to hurry up if you want a smooth ride. Anyway, werr here." The ship ground to a halt, a wave of air blasting out from the bottom and throwing up a cloud of dust into the air around the ship. "This's yer stop."

Last sip. Kanitah threw the bottle back and tossed it into the box where they'd been tossing the empty bottles. "Thanks. I'll make sure to pay you back for the lost product. Alright?" The pilot shook his head.

"On the house, I'm only s'posed to d'liver three crates. I got plenny." On that note, Kanitah threw the door open and looked over his shoulder.

"Head off to a safe distance, this might get ugly. I still need a ride off this rock once I teach this jerk why it makes you suspicious to fly through the stratosphere at mach 3 or so."

"Sure, I'll be over thar when yer done." The pilot pointed off to a hill in the distance, just beyond which one could see a small suburb.

The Pundambayan hopped out and onto the field, the door closed behind him and the ship drifted off to rest on the hill.

This is Earth, a small blue marble suspended in a beam of light. It's pretty nice lookin', but the air's a bit gross. Humans have too much pollution in the air.

Kanitah surveyed the area around him, it was just a large grassy plain with a number of hills and thick oak trees surrounding it. A few small ponds and sandy bits dotted the landscape. Just outside of earshot there was people running off. To Kanitah, this was a nice place. A good location for any manner of event, be it a party or a fight.

To humans, however, it's known as a golf course.

He looked upwards, waiting for Freedom to land. Kanitah meant it when he said take it to the ground. He honestly hoped that Freedom didn't expect Kanitah to fight him in the air.

The Worth of a Man

Sorry I held you up for so long.

A short summary of the events that took place:
When I was 10, I had a bad habit of consuming unhealthy amounts of sugar and not brushing my teeth. Caused me to get fillings in all four of my back adult teeth. They weren't a problem until about a year ago. When the filling in my rear molar on the top left hand side fell out. It caused serious pain, but about 20 oz of Jack Daniels and Southern Comfort killed the infection and I was cool up until recently. About a month or so ago I chipped my tooth while chewing on something, no clue what, but it broke my tooth. The tooth didn't hurt in the slightest, so I just ignored it. Making sure I cleaned it out with a toothpick and careful brushing.

But then this last week hit, and suddenly the left half of my face started swelling and I was in so much pain that I couldn't think. I had to ask my roommate, TheBiddz, to help me out. (As I currently don't have any money, but that's another story.) I called around to all the dentists nearby and got one who scheduled me for 2 days after I called them. Apparently doctors have a different definition of 'emergency' than I do. Because excruciating dental pain is an emergency to me. As those two days passed the pain got worse and worse, and the swelling is still going down. It was about the size of the palm of my hand. Huge swollen cheek.

I got the tooth extraction and I felt so much relief immediately. About half the day after I had it removed, I realized that my fever had broken. I realized that my fever was caused by the infection in my tooth.

So long story short:
Ten year old me is an asshole, my tooth got infected, and I nearly died due to blood poisoning.

Hate to say it, Melon, but I gotta agree with Vordak. If there's no grounds for change, then there can't be change. If you have evidence, or a concern you can present it to me and I'll discuss it with Green and see where it goes from there.

But as it stands, with no evidence or reason to change it, it's cool as it is.

Also, Green. Feel free to rework the sheet, since you've decided that you're going to change it and you haven't yet gotten into a fight. I'll review it once it's reworked.

Edit: If anyone else thinks this is an issue, voice the concern now. Rather than alienate a player entirely without giving a reason why, explain your grievances and we'll solve it now.

It's a weapon that's only a problem once, to a smart character. Maybe Ug Nug might have a bit of trouble with it.

And Evvie.

The bombs are a bit concerning, yeah.

"Hey, shut the fuck up about tactical advantages and how you're better than me." The mouth on this guy, talking like some big shot. Looks like a boring rank and file soldier in some other man's army. Oh, wait. Familiar. Can't really judge people on being rank and file. Flint grimaced, lighting his hands up with intense flames. "I'm in no mood for some punk ass who thinks that because he's got a big sword that he's talented enough to kill me. Tactical advantages don't mean shit at the boiling point of carbon."

"If you think your big sword, which is probably made out of iron, can even touch me. Go ahead, swing it. I'm tougher than steel, baby!" Okay, maybe not tougher than steel. But at least hot enough to heat it to near boiling point. For a moment, Flint actually forgot the words that he was gonna say next. His flames dimmed for a moment and the feathers that adorn his body all wilted slightly. The flame and feathers popped back up once he remembered his line. "Oh, and I'm closer to a bird than I am to a dog. You filthy ape-kin."

I don't much see it as a problem, personally. (Cause unless you kite, a melee character is probably gonna be within arm's reach of his opponent at all times. A sword or a knife, doesn't really matter, they're gonna be practically touching chests.) Though it's always a bit dubious when an edit comes after it's been accepted.

When I added it to the list of accepted characters it was a katana.
